Details: Earth is one of Sub Pop's most apocalyptic bands, known mostly for distorted guitar ambience, undercurrents of multiple guitars, the occasional 8 minute guitar opus and a play-loud metal ethic. Led into battle with their instruments and various household appliances by visionary Dylan Carlson, this post-industrial band at one time featured Kurt Cobain (Nirvana - as if you didn't know) and famed Seattle-area bassists Joe Preston and Dave Harwell.
